I've gotten too used to having tons of free time, so I'm sure I'll have some adjusting to do. Ohhh well. I always appreciate the wisdom of elders. ;) Time management is really what I need to work on.

Sure. Considering your character, I'd say most of this you already know, but: 1. Stay away from the drugs and alcohol. A drink now and then isn't bad, but don't make huge beer bashes a regular part of your college career. 2. Get to know your professors. Introduce yourself, talk to them, meet with them at their offices. 3. Time management. College is ultimately an exercise in time management. A lot of the work isn't *hard* to accomplish - whether memorizing facts, writing essays, whatever - but simply time consuming. If you wait until the last minute to write an essay, of course it's going to be nerve wracking. :) Tips for a freshman? Sure. Considering your character, I’d say most of this you already know, but:

Your first thing made me laugh, especially because I can totally relate. I've had some bad experiences with seagulls and now I hate them. Grr, evil seagulls! Anyway, good luck with your new classes! Mine start on Tuesday, and I'm really starting to get nervous and excited now. First year of college! Have any tips for a freshman? :) Thanks for sharing — this was a good read!
